Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill bundles together five unrelated policy changes: restructuring the Brisbane 2032 Olympics governance body and requiring a 100-day infrastructure review, abolishing Queensland's treaty process with First Nations peoples, rolling back workplace safety inspection rights for unions, clarifying planning rules for major developments, and making the Public Sector Commissioner harder to dismiss.
Electrical Safety and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2025
This bill makes two sets of changes. First, it strengthens Queensland's electrical safety framework by confirming electricity distributors can issue defect notices and by giving the regulator clearer powers to ban unsafe electrical equipment. Second, it removes an uncommenced provision that would have given workplace safety representatives a new way to request information from the regulator.
